" FIRST TASTE " is the first single from the album FLESH PRISON, written and produced by the band SELF POISON. 

LYRICS:
Where to begin
And where we left off
The marks from words engraved too deep
This leaves me so empty
Wearing my skin
And tearing me down
I gave you every little piece of me
There's poison in the blood we bleed

Can you see my scars
Etched into my heart
Maybe it could turn back time
Return the gaze that they stole from your eyes
You're never near or far
You're running from who you are
See the stars
Sketched into the dark
They'll carry you home

Nobodies there 
You never cared
I don't want to die alone
I'm sick of being left
With sympathy you never really meant

I'm sick of being less
I'm always such a burden
Everyone is looking down on me

I think I'm losing my mind
I think I'm running out of time

Can you see my scars
Etched into my heart
Maybe it could turn back time
Return the gaze that they stole from your eyes
You're never near or far
You're running from who you are
See the stars
Sketched into the dark
They'll carry you home

Nobodies there 
You never cared
I don't want to die alone
I'm sick of being left
With sympathy you never really meant
You weren't there 
Nobody cares
Nobodies there
You never cared
You weren't there
Nobody cares 
I guess I've got to do this on my own

I think I'm losing my mind
I think I'm running out of time

FIRST TASTE

"BLACK OF ABYSS" is the second single off of the album "FLESH PRISON" releasing in 2025 

Lyrics by Abraxas Soul Vessel :
Hearing the message beyond the eyes

Consume the room then let it all clear the view
When there's spirits inside of you 
They will lie there then awaken
When you give them a home 

I'm casted away from this reality
The grimoires have kept me safe here
The demonstrators have shown me 
Every angle I can see here

See beyond the glass
It all started moving fast
It's the year of the snake

They came to feed on my garden
Not knowing that I had the seeds
Well they should've known not to go
They will burn

You will now stare into the black of abyss
Somewhere deep inside these bones
The emptiness starts to grow
Consume the room then let it all clear the view
When there's spirits inside of you 
They will lie there then awaken
When you give them a home 

So let them in
Hearing the message beyond the eyes
So stitch your sigils tight 
And let the serpent take a bite of you

The poisons that fill up your veins 
Will speed up the way they speak to your brain
Here I am as a ghost in the notes
Follow the melody it'll bring you home

And aren't we all looking for the same ways to get off
Up
I promise I'll take you higher

I cannot help but stare into the black of abyss
Somewhere deep inside these bones
The emptiness starts to grow
Consume the room then let it all clear the view
When there's spirits inside of you 
They will lie there then awaken
When you give them a home
You will now stare into the black of abyss
But somewhere deep inside these bones
The emptiness starts to grow
Consume the room then let it all clear the view
When there's spirits inside of you 
They will lie there then awaken
When you give them a home

LYRICS : 
Don't miss the ways you've made me itch
Scratching every wound I've torn off
Every bloodied stitch
Make me feel each puncture
Make me everything you blame
This is how we turn out when I've beat you in your games

You thought you really had me cornered
You thought that you could make me change
I'm alive as another reminder
You will die with what you've made

Wonder why the stars were so much closer than you
Or how you would tell me more about them than yourself
The bits I piece together that left your silhouette
She breaks the weight you hold
And he makes the pain you told
You've made them close

And your heart is always in the moon
But your eyes just turn to blue
Consume the mood in ways I'd love to foster
Take my hands and make your plans
This life's too short to play pretend again
Our lives are just so short

Wonder why the stars were so much closer than you
Or how you would tell me more about them than yourself
The bits I piece together that left your silhouette
She breaks the weight you hold
And he makes the pain you told

Every single night I've spent awake
Never catching sleep was in the effort 
Of my hopes 
Of my dreams

And...
On the right side of twenty-five all of my friends died
Lost young but forever old
These memories I won't ever let go

LYRICS : 

How could you not
Not understand
That you bring me to life

Walk

Is this a dream or a cruel design
Am I a puppet yours or mine
The bones I bare the fire I speak
A story spun that you can't believe 

In a realm of ink where dreams are torn
From the pages of a tattered book
A figure takes flight
A mannequin circled in words

Walk
One more time through the endless woods
Talk
To the demons that you never knew you should
Tread
I'd rather dance to the tone
A figment of a hand
I'm bound to the page

Is this a dream or a cruel design
Am I a puppet yours or mine
The bones I bare the fire I speak
A story spun that you can't believe 

So don't you know
That I'm alive
Because of you
But God has punished me as a ghost

Stuck in a text with some beautiful notes

Anybody can get through anything
Anybody
And it's up to you to try and change it
Nobody can change your life for you
To get better you have to actually try
If you don't try you'll never know

How much more do I need to bleed
To make them finally see how much this means to me
So what if it takes a lifetime to learn
That I'm just a shell of bones
Who needs a body to host

But thanks to you I was finally born today
So put new ashes and spread some makeup on your face
The Skeleton King is rising from the grave
But who is the puppeteer pulling my strings
A light in the dark is where the story begins
A reader unknown a silent command
A product of thought a dream unforeseen
Are we illusions or ghosts in machines

Is this a dream or a cruel design
Am I a puppet yours or mine
The bones I bare the fire I speak
A story spun that you can't believe 

So don't you know
That I'm alive
Because of you
But God has punished me as a ghost

Stuck in a text with some beautiful notes
